Aid, caring, and peace in an ocean of terror. From Strategic Culture at strategic-culture.org:
The St. Porphyrius Church, a Greek Orthodox Christian church in Gaza City, opens its doors to welcome the displaced following the Israeli aggression that targeted residential buildings, ambulance crew, and hospitals.
The Saint Porphyrius church in Gaza City, the historical Greek Orthodox Church, has opened its doors wide since the beginning of the genocidal Israeli campaign against the Gaza Strip, welcoming displaced Palestinians who had lost their homes and loved ones.
Early during the war, there was a rumor that the Israeli Occupation Forces had targeted the 1,600-year-old church, but the news was soon falsified after the church posted on its official page that the Church and its occupants, Christian churchgoers, and priests were all safe and the church is untouched.
However, the Saint Porphyrius Church has not been the only church that has welcomed Palestinians seeking refuge from “Israel’s” relentless airstrikes, the Roman Catholic Holy Family Church and the Protestant Gaza Baptist Church have also welcomed many displaced Gazans.

They have been seeking refuge inside the church, church hall, and school of the church as their homes and residences have been completely destroyed. As Gaza lost access to electricity, the only source of heating and light were candles.
